chiarelli's pissed about losing to philly obviously! way to go pete. boston just got mean on offense! horton to go with seguin?, lucic, bergeron, krejci, wheeler, sturm... barring injuries this year, the B's are looking pretty good. pick up a free agent Dman to replace wideman and they're contenders for sure.

Can they afford another starting D-man and Wheeler all at the same time?

They just traded away their second best D-man and are going to replace that with something off of the scrap heap, and sign Wheeler, or sign a decent D-man and a lesser winger and watch Wheeler walk away.

They have to hope no one throws a 4 mil offer at Wheeler, if he gets an offer sheet Boston will have a hard time adding him and Sequin to their current cap situation.

Without a doubt the Horton deal was win for the Bruins, but they got no cap relief and are now going to have to rely on unknowns on the backend.

They need to find a way to get rid of Thomas' contract, then sign a vet back up for cheap. That would help them dramatically.

"When I was looking for a captain, I wanted a guy with the Red Wings crest tattooed on his chest," said former Detroit coach Jacques Demers, who named Yzerman captain in 1986. "Steve Yzerman was that guy."

“Told him if he wasn't ultra-competitive he couldn't come here. If he didn't bring it every day he couldn't come here, because he was going to hate it if he didn't, dislike the coach and dislike playing here.
